IELTS Pre-intermediate

IELTS Pre-intermediate is our first stage IELTS preparation course and it is recommended that most students who are preparing to sit the IELTS test start with this. The British Council focuses on the learner by conducting a needs analysis for each learner. In this stage, students will learn about each section of the IELTS test and practice skills and techniques they need to perform their best on the test date.
